The question was one of great public importance, and one which the public had a parti cular interest in the issne. .The proprietors of stage coaches had a responsible duty ,to perform—the safe con veyance of his Majesty's subjects, which they undertook to do far .si certain reward; and if they,did not provide suitablemanveyances, and careful drivers, then .were they liable for the consequences that might .ensue. The plain tiff in this case had received a. most serious injury, and one that wits likely to affect him for some time. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to detail the nature of the acci dent, us-will appear from the witnesses on the part of the plaintiff. ~ James Connor, examined by Mr. TiNDAL.—Before this witness,was, however, exam - fined, Mr. Wiwasis admitted that the plaintiff was a pas senger, and had paid his fare s 51.25., from Liverpool to Edinburgh.

'Mr, WILLTAYi t took the objection, which his Lordship overr uled; they, went to show a correspondence betty en. the parties with a view of a compromise, but which failed. The clerk, who was called to prove the copies from the original, said that he'did not work them by the machine, but that he could speak to the fact that they emanated from their office. Mr. WILWAsts, on the part of the defendant, contended that no case of negligence had been shown or made out against the defendant; on the contrary, not a single in ept* had appeared in the course of the examination, but, that the accident the plaintiff met with arose front ine vitable circumstances, sad such as no humaa foresight .could have, preVented, lie thought coach proprietors were placed m a very flitical situation, if they were to answer for every accident! which happened, The mail is i ts .iiroved to be going at its usual' pace, and as regarded She horse, such a propensity wiss not uncommon.

There was a second issue. CROWN SIDE. William Williams Parkins, aged 25, stood indicted with having uttered at Manchester, a forged order for the pay- Mint of 1 75/., purporting to be drawn by John Wakefield and sons, of Kendal, on Messrs. nisterman and Co. , London, knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud the said Messrs. Masterman and Co. Mr. Seijeant CKoss, with whom was Sir GREGORY LEWIN and Mr. Tusost., stated the case to the Jury, and called Daniel Mildred, Esq., a partner in the house of Masterman and Co., who proved having, on the 23d of June last, received„a letter by post, with an inclosure, and which he afterwards gave to Mr. Peill, the corresponding clerk, with directions to attend to it in the usual manner. Mr. Joseph Peill proved having received a letter from Mr. Mildred, which contained an order for the payment of 1754 which being so dissimilar to' the hand-writing of MC. Wakefield, that he concluded it was a forgery. M A Bainbridge, clerk to MeSiirs.'Wakefield and Sons, provedthe order produced to be a forgery. Mr. John Nightingale,' clerk of the Post-office, Man cheater, stated that the prisoner came to the office with a letter addressed to Francis Eversham; and that as soon as he had given him the letter, Richard Gardner an officer from •the London Police Establishment, took him into custody. Richard Gardner stated, that he had been in attendance. at the Post-office, Manchester, for the purpose of appre hending the person who applied for a letter addressed to Francis Eversham, and that he was standing by the pri soner when he received the letter, and afterward took him into custody; witness took pri'soner in a coach to the, Manehester Face-office, where he was examined ; but the , letter could not be found. The prisoner read a well written defence, and called several persons as to character.—Acquitted. Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. D. R JoNms, arid Mr. COLTMAN, were for the prisoner. • John Wainwright, aged 28, was found guilty upon two indictments, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, for cutting and maiming under very aggravated circumstances, arising at the Newton election in this county. The Learned Judge (Mr. Justice PARK), in passing sentence of death on the prisoner, gave, him no hopes of mercy. A true bill against Edward Gibbon WakOeld and tfli/- Wakfleld for a' misdemeanour : A true bill against Edthard Gibbon . Wakefield, William and Frances Wake field, (the wife of William Wakefield)—the French Valet —and no bill against Edward Wakefield (the father) This day the Grand Jury, (at the head of whom, is Lord Stanley, M. P.,) brought in a true bill against each of the above prisoners. Willi Turner was examined : so ' that .the mountain has brought forth a mouse! Still the interest. is as great as ever if not more so. The trial is expected to come on the middle of the next week. The ladies will think themselves amply paid, if they can he so fortunate as to procure a seat. in Court on the day it takes place. Some say that• only tickets will, gain admission, others rely uptin their interest at Court—all think they ought to have a peep, and many say theY would give any money for one at this tWebrated attrac tion (Miss T.), this beauty of . the Northern hemisphere'. But filthy lucre finds no key where' Justiee sits , on her frowning throne; it-does not,,like Peter's Paradise, • : Opelor pay;'! All' here is in most " admired disorder"—it is "confusion worse confounded"--4we is to be seen. motley groups of all descriptions, m4sigips, monkeys, &c. &c. in great va riety, .coaches, post-chaises; and dog-carts. There is great talk of traversing the trial until the next Assiies in that 'case, Mr. Wakefield would be let out on bail, when 'he might claim Miss Turner as his wife.—. SoMe go so far as to "sway even now, it will be all smoke. A true bill against the M'Xeands for murder the same day. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUOUST 12. —Yesterday arrived his Majesty's brig of war, the Ringdove, Capt. Edwin L. Rich, from the Lee ward !elands, Jamaica, and New York;' she sailed from Port Royal on the 11th of June, with Alex. Cockburn, Egg. his Mit , jestyA Minister to the Republic of Colombia, wholanded at New York on the 2d July, . . for the benefit of his health. The Minis ter was only ten days in that country, when he left Carthagena for Port Royal; the disorganized state of affairs' in that Govern ment rendering his residence there for the present unnecessary. There had been no accounts received from Bolivar for four month. ; it was rather expected that he would not be prevailed on to return' from Upper Peru to Columbia. The two large frigates, built in the United States for the Colombian 'Govern ment, had arrived safe at Carthagena ; they had only 200 men each. . The Spailish Commodore Laborde, in the Gloriosa, 74, with four large frigates, haVing 2000 troops on board, was off ilavanueli. Hie Officers and crew are regularly paid by tbe GO vernment of Cuba. I-le had hitherto confined his attention to the defence of that island. The ships on the West India station were generally healthy. Tie Druid, Capt. Chambers, left Port Royal 011 the 9th June, to relieve the Hussar, at Ilarbadoes, which ship after her return; to . Port Royal, would sail for England. The Valorous, Lord Huntingdon, had' sailed with General Sir John K.to.e, for New Providence and Halifax ; and the Tweed, Capt. Ilunn, Wu spoke off Ilavannah on 20th June, bound to Vera Cruz,., with a u.:43i) ; The Scylla, Capt. Hobson, and Bustard, Capt. Sandom, were 14 - wising off Cuba ; the Isis and Harlequin were lying at Port Royal. The Ilingdove fell in with an im mense iceberg; off - the. beaks of ..Newfoundland drifting to the Siiiithwerd, the magnitude and indden 'appearance of ,which as-_ timished every person :on board. The Ringdove spoke the ship' Portaea, six months from Madras, 'and saw in the Channel about sixty sail of homeward-hotnul merchant -then, struggling with Easterly winds and calms, all which mist have had long passages. Colonel Lee, private Secretary to the Ambassador, come home in the Ringdove. Yesterday hie Majesty's sloop of war Dispatch, Capt. R.

New YORK, JULY 19.—Yesterday tbrday set apart by, the municipal authorities of our city for the celebration of the fu neral obsequies to the memory of Jefferson and Adams, and not withstanding the recent jubilee and the peculiar character of a busy commercial city,. we could ohserve in every direction,. those unfeigned demonstrations of regret which such a melancholy oc casion rightfully called forth. (Here killowe a minute description of the ceremonies observed on this solemn occasion.) Thus we celebrated the 12th of July, 1826, a day set apart by the city of New-York for performing the funeral obsequies to the memory' of an event which is unparallelled in the history of the world. We could have wished to have seen a little less of the bustle of business in several of our principal streets, but the mixed mass of our population cannot all be penetrated by the sentiments which arise from occasions - of this nature. The City Hall, we believe, was in mourning, the Banks were shut, the Post office closed, and all the public authorities, both state and national, exhibited the proper feelings of the day. During the religious services in the churches, the artillery on the battery were firing minute guns, which brought home, at regular inter vals, to the hearts of many, the regrets that cannot but mingle with our joy in such a singular dispensation of Providence, as the departure of Jefferson and Adams on the same day, and that day the first jubilee of our independence. There were 13 field, pieces to correspond with the number of old states. On the whole we were highly gratified with the solemn marks of respect which yes terday record, and which is honourably connected with the cha racter of our city, as it was deserved by the great names of Jef ferson and Adams. (From the Commercial .Advertiser.) Jul 11 . —We received on Saturday evening the following interesting letter from our correspondent at Porto Cabello suela), dated June 20, 1826 : By the schooner Rehoboth, Captain Ellis, who leaves this port to-morrow, for New York, I have to advise, that things in this province are far from being settled. We received • intelligence at eight o'clock yesterday morning, from Cumana, that General Bermudez was on his march with 10,000 troops, destined to this place. The forces at Carthagena are ordered, and are soon ex-' pected.here. 'On account of this intelligence, they have ordered the troops to repair innuediately to Valencia to join General Pan., The castle at the entrance of the harbour it doubly missed, and . they are using all diligence in preparing the forts at La Battu.* on a small island directly opposite that of the castle, and the bat tery which guards the city from the outer town, or an entrance from an enemy in that direction. " A proclamation from General Paez has just arrived,' ordering all citizens and those keeping houses, to turn out with their mus kets. The troops will march to Valencia in the course of to. morrow, when the citizens will be obliged to guard the city and man the castle. On account of this disturbance, General Paez has ordered that no man of war under the Colombian flag shall leave the place without this special orders. We have embargoed here the corvette Urica, the brig Pinchinca, brig Libertadore, and schooner Independencia, with two private armed brigs, the Roman Liberal and Libertadore, Captain Bartlett. I think that something serious will be the result in a week or two." In addition to the above, the Statesman of Saturday evening publishes the following extract of a letter from Carthageua, which we consider very important " The Spanish squadron is now off this port. Yesterday they were within a gun-shot of the batteries--seven sail, one 80 gun ship, fire frigates, and a brig. It it presumed that they will at tack this place in a few days. They approach the walls every evening. At the present time the Colombians ire not able to meet the squadron, as they have neither men nor officers on board of their ships. They have not men enough in the whole squad ron even to man one of their frigates. They are in a deplorable situation at present. There are not more than i thousand troops in this place, and a great many of the cannon on the walls, not on carriages, are entirely useless. It is rumoured that Commodore Laborde commands the Spanish squadron, and intends to take the ship of war in the harbour and, the place itself. " We do not apprehend any ultimate danger to:the Republic, of magnitude without, and we had hoped that the semi-defection of Paez within, would be amicably arranged. The arrival of the Spanish armament upon the coast of Colombia, almost at the mo ment of the revolt in Venezuela, is an important conjunction of affairs ; and while there appears to be some danger at Carthagena, the alarm and formidable movements mentioned by our corres pondent at Porto Cabello, indicate a more critical state of things in that quarter than we could have wished (From the New York Gazette. ) • . We have beet; fitroished by Mr. T. C. Connor, a passenger in the brig l'antpied, Capt. Pairner,`front Carthagena, with tins fol lowing intelligence : The Spanish fleet, consisting of one 84, four frigates, and a schoonet, under Commodore Laborde, had been ()tithe port seve-: rah days previous to the sailing of the Tampico, and it was ex pected that they intended to blockade the port. The TaMpico came out in the night, and saw nothing of them. It was re ported that they had landed twenty miles to , windward of Car thagena; and carried off twenty or thirty slaves from a plantation. The Colombian navy. in port, including the two sixty-fours from New York, was very respectable, and only wanted man to' make them superior to any force which Spain could furnish. The troops in garrison amounted to about 8,000 men, under . superior 'discipline, and were constantly kept on .duty. A gentleman, who had just arrived at Carthagena from Bogota, informed Mr. Connor, that the Extraordinary Congress which was convened in consequence of the failure of Goldschtitidt and Co., was still in session when he left that place, discussing the ways and means for paying the interest of the Colombian loan clue in July. Intelligence of the disturbances in Venezuela had reached Bo gota, and the extraordinary session would, accordingly, be pro longed, and speedy and effectual measures adopted to prevent any interruption to the peace and harmony between New Grenada and Venezuela. The receipt of this news from Bogota had not caused much alarm. For some days rumours have prevailed in•the City of disagreements existing between Great Britain and the United States of North America, and they are not en tirely groundless. Some time ago, with the double in. tention of assisting the English West India Planters, and of rendering commerce as free tls circumstances would admit, the British Government granted permission to the inhabitants of the United States to carry coloni a l p ro d uce from all the British Colonies direct into their own ports, and under the, American . flag, with the understanding,. that British ships were to have Similar privileges: It has for some time been a subject of just .complaint amongst British Ship-owners, that the American Government has not rendered this direct intercourse with the British Co lonies in any manner reciprocal, but, on the contrary, all British ships arriving in American ports from the British Colonies have been subjected to much heavier tonnage duties, and port' charges, than American ships returning from the same voyage. The whole of this lucrative de partment of commerce has latterly been, in consequence of these restrictions laid on British ships, carried under the American flag, to the great detriment of the British Ship ping -Interest.. It is, however, now generally, understaod• that his Majesty' s inequality, and that, in T d t' Gazette, an Order . nes ay nig s Ministers will no longer tolerate this in Co uncil will appear, prohibiting ships under the Ame rican flag from tradingdirect between North America and the British Colonies, until the American Government place both countries on a footing of perfect equality. Without real reciprocity, there can be no freedom of trade; and it cannot be doubted that his Majesty's Ministers will withdraw from all nations commercial facilities which .are not recipr oca t e d. Th e North Americans will then have to draw fro m E uro p e t h e i r co.Usumption of British Colo uial produ ce , a c i rcums t ance which will be more injurious to themselves than to the United Kingdoms ; but, be yond this, there is no chance that the dispute can produce any evil cOnsequences.—Morning Paper.
